FLASHBACK: 3 Explosive Details About The Clinton-Lewinsky Affair

DailyCaller: Saturday marks 18 years to the day since the House of Representatives authorized an impeachment inquiry into then-President Bill Clinton following a report from independent counsel Kenneth Starr, who laid out a case for impeaching Clinton in relation to a sexual harassment lawsuit filed against Clinton by Paula Jones.

The Starr Report focused on Clinton’s relationship with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky.

Clinton denied under oath that he and Lewinsky ever had any sexual relations and claimed he couldn’t recall any instances in which the two were alone.

Lewinsky also denied the affair, reportedly under pressure from Clinton to keep quiet.

Starr recommended impeaching Clinton on 11 grounds including perjury, obstruction of justice, witness tampering and abuse of power.

The report revealed the explosive nature of Clinton’s relationship with Lewinsky. Below are just three of the many from the Starr Report. (Editor’s note: the following contains sexually explicit language and depications)

Clinton spoke on the phone with members of Congress while receiving oral sex.

Lewinsky testified that her first sexual encounter from Clinton took place on November 15, 1995 when he met her in an office of one of his senior advisers before taking her into his private study. (The adviser, George Stephanopoulos, is now an anchor with ABC News.)  MORE

  1. Jesus I don’t want to go through this crap again. Don’t forget, when Clinton wasn’t convicted in the Senate, there was no uproar, everyone was just sick of it. I think he even enjoyed a pretty healthy approval rating, which should tell you how far into the sewer we’ve fallen.

    I say if Trump gets in the weeds with this shit, we can kiss this one goodbye.

  2. It was fun to interject Hillary whenever Maggie is used:

    “Open the old cigar-box, get me a Cuba stout,
    For things are running crossways, and Maggie and I are out.

    We quarrelled about Havanas — we fought o’er a good cheroot,
    And I knew she is exacting, and she says I am a brute.

    Open the old cigar-box — let me consider a space;
    In the soft blue veil of the vapour musing on Maggie’s face.

    Maggie is pretty to look at — Maggie’s a loving lass,
    But the prettiest cheeks must wrinkle, the truest of loves must pass.

    There’s peace in a Larranaga, there’s calm in a Henry Clay;
    But the best cigar in an hour is finished and thrown away –”
    […]
    “Open the old cigar-box — let me consider anew —
    Old friends, and who is Maggie that I should abandon you?

    A million surplus Maggies are willing to bear the yoke;
    And a woman is only a woman, but a good Cigar is a Smoke.

    Light me another Cuba — I hold to my first-sworn vows.
    If Maggie will have no rival, I’ll have no Maggie for Spouse! ”

    ~Rudyard Kipling, “The Betrothed”
    A poem written by Kipling in 1886 about a man who was asked by his fiancee to stop smoking cigars.

    (I know … old joke …. sorry, couldn’t resist)
